CHICAGO, March 21.-Maxwell Ernst
Virgo, a young Englishman, thirty-two
years of age, caused an exciting scene in
the Office OF A. 7. Hemingway, secretary
of the Young Mems Christian Association,
yesterday afternoon. Virgo has been
known to the officers OF the association
for three years past, frequently calling on
them for moral assistance In expressing
uncenquerable desire on his part to waste
his substance at games of chance. Yes
terday he appeared very much detected
and told Secretary Hemingway that
things were going against him and he had
determined to do away with himself. Mr.
Hemingway invited Virgo into his private
office to argue with him, Once inside,
Virgo braced himself against the doc.
aud suddenly developed into raving
maniac. He drew from his overcoat
pocket ottle of muratic acid, which
he flourshed wildly about his head, while
violently vociferating farewell to the
world. Secretary Hemingway sprang to
virgo's side and attempted to wrest the
drug from his grasp, but he found the
mailman was possessed of superhuman
strength He grasped the Secretary
about the body and was forcing him
through third story window when T.
| q Helmlck came to his rescue. The
win low was broken In the struggle.
Virgo broke away, and was about to
drink the acid, when Mr.. Hemingway
dashed the DO tile from his hands. The
penetrating acid flew all about the room,
staining clothes, furniture and carpets.
Mr. Hemingway and Mr.. Helmick were
both slightly burned. A great portion Of
1t fell on Virgo's face, Blu ming 1t in a
frightful manner. He succeeded in
swallowing some of the powerful stuff.
His tongue and palate were badly burned
land blistered. Another desperate strug-
Lyle ensued between the maniac, the secre.
Itaries and other attendants OF the library,
Virgo fighting like an angered demon.
The police were summoned by telephone,
and u couple of muscular officers manag-
ed to carry Virgo to patrol wagon, In
which he was taken TO the County Hos
pital The physicians there say Virgo II
in bad way, but may recover. He is O
member OF well-to-do English family.

A Brides Suicide.

New YORK, March 2l.-Philippina
Muth, aged eighteen, bride OF scarcely
two weeks, shot herself dead this forenoon
10 her room on the third floor Of the tene.
ment No 1870 Avenue A. The motive OF
the deed is mystery; 1t is only certain
that she did not fire the fatal shot by ac-
icident. Philippine was living out as q
domestic until two weeks ago, when she
married Frederick Muth, q German car
penter, with whom she had KEEP company
some six or eight months She whs a
frugal, thrifty and contented little body,
plump and pretty as q picture; he q
strong, healthy workman, honest and
capable. He had been out of work some
weeks, but had money laid by, and there
was nothing to worry them in the i'm
mediate outlook. They went to house.
, keeping together 81 once, and tho CON-
ment of the neighbors was that they lived
together like pair Of turtle doves. To.
/ day work was to be resumed in Muth's
/ sho and the two were happier, If posi-
F.. BILE, last night than ever. This morning
! he went away. 1t was the first time he
: left since their wedding, and she followed
| him t. the street and kissed him good bye
: there.
| Jshn Krohn neighboring newsdealer
was In thu back yard shortly before eleyrr
O'Clock, when he heard two shots. Rush
ing up stairs he saw smoke coming
through the crack of the door OF Mrs
Muth's apartments. 1t was ajar and h,
lpushed 1t open. The young wife lay OF
her face before him. Her bosom wa
bare and covered with blood, and hei
hands were red. A pistol lay beside her
She was to all appearances li.eless
Krohn gave the alarm. A surgeon came
but he could only certify that she hat
shot herself through the heart. The car
with which she had opened her clothe
before she fired the shot showed that sh
had acted with elaboration. Search wa
made, but no scrap of writing was foun(
to explain the suicide or suggest mo
tive.
1 Muth came home heart broken man
He was as unable as anybody to throw
the least ray of light on the suicide, anS
the police jumped at the conclusion tba
the young woman had shot herself in
moment OF insanity when for the frs
time alone In her new home.

Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1887-02-18

The enormous amount of capital
which is absorbed in this country
from year to. year by the habit of in
dulging in luxuries that are only OF
momentary benefit and very often
of no benefit at all, can be seen by
the statistics just compiled by a
New Yorker in regard to the con-
sumption of tobacco in this country.
The fact that the amount of money
expended every year for smoking
and chewing purposes has gradually
increased during the past twenty
years until it now averages $4,000,
600, 900 per annum is not a very
tender tribute to the boosted econo-
my of the American people. A
valued contemporary thinks "the
women will very likely regard these
figures in a jealous light. To them
so many thousand dollars could have
been much more wisely spent for
seal skin sacques and spring bon
nets"
Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1887-02-18

BALTIMORE seems to be worked
up into a big scare on account of its
defenceless exposure in case of war.
1t has discovered that it has enor-
nous wealth in real and personal
property and cash of deposit; does
an enormous trade in oysters and
other delicacies; its jobbing trade
is almost fabulous in amount, and
the coastwise trade with other states
amounts to great figures. Its
s'leading politicians want $21, OOO-
600 appropriated right-away, to be
followed by 800, 900, 600 next Con-
gress. How much these .'politi-
ceans' want expended on the
Chesapeake bay and its tributaries,
is not stated, but we can imagine
the Importance of adequate protec-
ton to so much wealth.
Annapolis is not much alarmed.
We have the oyster navy at our
command, the Governors Guards
are well disciplined, and the sscol-
ored troops which fought nObly''
on q former occasion, are always
ready for any emergency. Our
sleep is peaceful and sWeet-having
confidence in the vigilance, bravery
and efficiency Of the defenders Of
our small wealth.
What : blessing It is not to be
over-rich.

ALL the recent strikes in New
York aud New Jersey have failed,
and majority of those who engag-
cd in them are walking the streets
and begging to be taken back.
There is much suffering among
their families and they are compel
led to solicit aims.

JERSEY assemblymen have lost
their old Castilian blood. They
quarrel like tom-cats on back
yard fence, but there is no fight in
them. This deterioration may be
the work Of the festive mosquito.

AS OTHERS SEE Us.-We make
the following extract from private
letter to show what others think of
our city:
81 have always had strong belief
in the future of Annapolis, and
have no doubt of its ultimate great
prosperity. 1t is better field for
investment, to day, than Baltimore,
and [ have always intended to make
a selection of a desirable lot and
build residence there, wherein to
end my days"
This, from Baltimorean, is
quite fattering to the beauty,
healthfulness and good society of
the city on the Severn. We have
heard many Baltimoreans and
others express themselves similarly,
and we expect to see quite a num-
Der of strangers locating in our
city, when the new railroad gets in
to working order.

THREg brothers were buried un-
der pile of TASKS at a foundry in
Philadelphia, the other day. One
was killed, the others bodily injur-
ed. If these were whiskey TASKS,
the incidents would hardly be
worth mentioning-so many unfor-
Inmates are killed and injured daily
by too free use of these ''pocket
conveniences. !"
